It IS all about the cotton

Since the traditional gift of the second anniversary IS cotton, of course, there is a little cotton giveaway. I’ll be sending off eight fat quarters of cheery, festive Monaco and Pretty Please fabrics. I still can’t get enough of these fun fabrics I’ve been using in the Birdcage quilt and in the Lover’s Knot/Rose Dream blocks! The winner can even specify whether she/he prefers pink/orange, blue/green or a mix in the stack.

I’ll be giving one entry to all commenters up to now on my last 10 posts, one entry for commenting on this post and one entry if you post a link to this giveaway on your blog (email me a link to your post at alobsiger(at)gmail.com). You’ll have until Friday, April 17 at 11:59 pm EST to enter. I’ll announce the winner on Saturday, April 18.

Thanks for all the camaraderie and kind comments over the past two years! Here’s to more cotton in the future!

Thank you for reminding us about using old blocks in a modern way.( Lovers Knot). I have been able to purchase the templates from Kathy at Material Obsession so now may I be in the anniversary draw please?

Congrats on 2 years of Mrs S Quilts! I love popping by and visiting, altho I do have to say that this blogging business is costing me lots of $$$. I was managing to find plenty of “must have” fabric all by myself, but with the help of lovely, crafty bloggers such as yourself, I’m finding even more fabric that I just “have to have”, the Monaco fabric falls into this category. I’ve resisted temptation so far, mostly because no-one on etsy seems to have any. I’d love to win some from your stash.

I’m so loving your Lover’s Knot block, I even showed my mum your blog when she came to visit for Easter. She couldn’t figure out if you’d done reverse applique or curved piecing either, so I clued her in.

I’ll definitely link to you, altho I’m sure you won’t have any shortage of entries in your giveaway.

Congrats on the second anniversary of blogging! You do such wonderful work and have such a great eye for color that I learn from reading (eying) your blog.
The fabrics you show in your photos about your give away say it all.

OOOOOO….Amy, I just love cotton! I guess I didn’t know that cotton was the 2nd anniversary. How lucky are we all??? I like the second pink/orange combo. They are hot colors. Or warm? Congrats on the 2 years I really enjoy visiting your blog, as you know. You are very creative and have a quick wit. I hope there will be 2 more years to read!

alll that cotton goodness almost too much for one person to take in. I have been a lurker too long–your sense of humour/sarcasm is one that just makes me smile as soon as i see mrs schmenkman. Congrats on 2 bloggin years one of thse days i’m gonna have to try me some bloggin but until all my students papers get marked i won’t bit the big one and take on blogger–it would be the death of my ‘other’career (other than quilting that is).

This is my very first visit to your blog, but I am going to lurk here for a while as I am liking what I see and read! I’d love to win some pink/orange fabrics. Ever since I followed Pat Sloan’s OP Challenge in February, I have dreamed of doing a pink/orange project. Will you make my dream come true??!!!

Congratulations! I’m just coming up on my one year…. but it’s hard to tell cause I accidentally junked a few of my posts thinking that I was only deleting the drafts…. oh well, we learn.
Your so sweet to have a drawing…. enter me please… and if I do win… anything you want to do is o.k. with me! And I will be posting about you give away!

I love your blog, your quilts and everything about you. I am an appreciator without a blog, a working woman who loves to quilt. I love the orange and pink fabrics. They look like the Spring tulips that are blooming right now.

Oh my goodness, where have I been as this is my first visit to you blog, but I am adding you to my google reader and I am sorry to say you will be hearing from me from now on. Also, thank you for the chnace to win your wonderful giveaway!

Congrats on 2 years. I have been following along for the past 6 months or so. I find your style and blog very inspiring. Thanks for the generous giveaway! I liked the first colourway you showed first – but think I love the second!

I love the idea of a cotton giveaway for a cotton anniversary – if our lil blog makes it to 2 years I’ll have to remember this! Congrats on this milestone. Hope you’re as in love with sharing your work as you were on day one.
